Chapter 11: The Godforsaken Spit of Land...
When they were all safe on the island, or 'the godforsaken spit of land' as Jack so nicely put it, Elizabeth decided to walk the perimeter of the cay. Jack and Jade lingered on the shore after freeing themselves of their bindings, the waves lapping at their feet, and watched the Black Pearl sail away from them and disappear into the endless blue of the sea.
"That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with mah ship..." he muttered with a faraway look in his deep brown eyes. Jade gave him a concerned look, as his was sadness and jealousy as he stared out to the ocean. She put her hand on his arm in reassurance.
"Jack...I'm sure you'll get it back again soon, when all this is over."
Jack turned to stare at her, kohl-lined eyes staring into beautiful bleu- turquoise waves.
"That's what I hoped to think the first time-but now look...it's been ten years ten years and I still didn't manage...I'm back to where I was...square one!!" Jack finished angrily, stalking a little up shore and plopping unceremoniously in the sand, fiddling with his pistol. Jade gave a sad smile and sat down next to him. She put her slender hand over his and aid quietly,
"Jack, we can all lose things that are very important to us...but we can't always get them back without a fight."
He stared at her in incredulity, and before Jade knew what was happening, Jack's lips were on hers, kissing her intensely. Jade's arms crept around his broad shoulders pulling him closer, and his went to the small of her back and in her long mahogany curls. They finally broke apart, but only because of the need of oxygen. They both then just observed each other for a while until Jack went back to fixing his gun and examining the only bullet. Jade realized that Jack would never reveal something unless he felt the time was right- including his feelings, so, taking a deep breath, she spoke.
"I - I never...really felt this way before - about someone...before you, Jack...Can I...Can I ask you if you feel the same?"
Jack paused, his busy hands stilled. Yes he had practically the same feelings for her, but had no idea of what they were, having never felt them before...He looked Jade in her eyes.
"I think ye may be right in saying that I just possibly could..."Jack answered in a playful tone.
Jade raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"So, you do, then!! Come on Jack, admit it!!" she insisted.
Jack smirked took off his boots, and put them on sticks stuck in the sand. (GAAAAAAHHH!!!!! they're baaaack...)
"No...I don't think I will..."
Jade lost her patience and whispered into his ear,
"Then I'll just have to make you!!" With that, she started to work the worst form of torture...tickling. Jack was writhing on the ground trying not to laugh, but was unsuccessful.
"Fine...Fine!! Goddamn it woman!! NO ONE tickles Captain Jack Sparrow!!" he shouted.
Jade was unfazed.
"Of course not...But I can tickle just plain old Jack Sparrow when he's not Captain, can't I?? Now admit it- you feel the same way about me as I do you. I know it. I can see it. So why can't you say it??"
Jack saw that she was making this as easy for him to say as possible...SO WHY COUDN'T HE JUST SAY IT??? He was frightened. Yes, Jack Sparrow who faced some things worse than death was frightened of confessing his feelings to a woman. He put on a blank look.
"There's nothing to say."
Jade's face went blank as well. She was hurt. Very hurt. But she dared not to let it show. Jack turned back to cleaning his pistol and Jade turned to the ocean. The beautiful sea, where you just go on without worrying about anything...
It was like this that Elizabeth found them after completing the footprints she left in the sand. She stared at the far point in the island – which wasn't far at all.
"It's really not all that big now, is it?" Jack said from his spot on the sand. Elizabeth turned to him sourly.
"If ye're going to shoot me please do so without delay." Jade's head snapped up at this.
"WHAT??"
"Is there a problem between us Miss Swann?" Jack asked calmly. Jade watched her sister slowly advance on Jack.
"You were going to sacrifice Will to Barbossa in exchange for a ship."
"We could use a ship...The fact was that I wasn't going to tell Barbossa about bloody Will in exchange for a ship, because as long as he didn't know about bloody Will, I had something to bargain with – which now no one has...thanks to bloody stupid Will!!" Jack retorted while getting up from the beach and putting his pistol back in his sash. Elizabeth's angry gaze dropped to the ground.
"Oh." Was all she said.
"Oh!!" Jack retorted again, making a face. Elizabeth didn't want to be defeated.
"He still risked his life to save ours!!"
Jack rolled his eyes.
"HA!!" he yelled as he stalked into the palm trees. Elizabeth and Jade followed him.
"So we have to do something to rescue him!!"
"Off ye go, then!! Let me know how that turns out!!" he shooed her off with his hands.
"Elizabeth is right, Jack. Will did save our lives in a stranded – on – a – deserted – island type way." Jade commented.
"To what point and purpose Jade?? The Black Pearl is gone, and unless you've got a rudder and a lot of sails underneath that lovely shirt, or, in your case," he turned to Elizabeth, "bodice, young Mr. Turner will be dead long before ye could reach him."
Jade was silent. Didn't anything she said before mean anything at all?? She couldn't just let Jack give up like this. She followed him as he strolled up to a tree, and knocked on it a few times.
"But – you're Captain Jack Sparrow. How can you just give up like this?? I know all about your remarkable exploits. You vanished from the eyes of seven agents from the East India Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot –" she put her hands on his arms to make him stop bouncing on a spot in the sand. "Are you the pirate I've read about or not??" she then added quietly, "How did you escape last time??"
Jack slowly peeled her arms off, no matter how much he liked them on... and answered with more hand gestures,
"Last time...I was here a grand total of three days, allright?? Last time – "He then opened the trapdoor in the sand that he was jumping on and went down. "The rumrunners used this island as a cache...But by the looks of things, they've long been out of business...Probably have yer very good friend, Norrington to thank for that, Elizabeth."
"It's Miss Swann!!" Elizabeth snapped, fuming at the reminder of the unanswered Commodore's proposal. "Besides, that's the secret!! Grand Adventure of the Infamous Jack Sparrow. You spent three days, lying on a beach, drinking rum!!"
Jack came up from the hatch with three rum bottles, gave a shoulder – shake thing and replied,
"Welcome to the Caribbean, luv." He handed Jade and Elizabeth each a bottle and sauntered down to the shore. Elizabeth stayed right where she was, scowling at the rum bottle in her hand, but Jade followed after Jack. She wanted to make sure all his adventures weren't lies.
"Jack – wait!!"
Jack swiveled around seemed a bit calmer when he saw her. Jade came up to him and inquired,
"So, is there no truth to the other stories??"
Jack put the rum he was holding on the ground.
"Truth??" he asked rehotorically as he pulled up his sleeve with his tattoo and the pirate brand. He also pulled his other sleeve up and his other arm held a web of deep scarring running from his wrist to his elbow. Jade's face showed a grimace. He also pushed aside his shirt collar so she could see the two bullet shots on the right pectoral of his chest. (Drooooooooooooling....heehee)
"No truth at all." He finished with, staring meaningfully into Jade's eyes. She suspected he had another meaning...
"Jack...This isn't all about the injuries is it?? Might I have reason to expect a different answer from...well, before??" Jade tried to dress her facial features in a blank look, but the hopefulness and love in her eyes betrayed her.
"Jade...dahling...ye have every reason to expect so..." Jack brought his face ever closer...Jade realized she could hold her emotions no longer. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. His arms encircled her and pulled her closer until she was pressed against him. Then on true Tipsy Jack Impulse, he picked her up and spun her around, still lip – locked. It was like this that Elizabeth emerged from the trees and was a wide – eyed witness.
Heehee don't ya just looooooooooooovvve cliffies??
